    Please continue to report these kinds of posts, that's not what I meant when I said I don't want to see this stuff coming from this thread anymore. I meant that I don't want the people doing it to carry on!

    While some posts seem innocuous, we do look at context and can see when people are provoking others without breaking rules in an obvious way. It's not rocket science ;)

    You're right, it's not rocket science which makes me wonder why there are a handful of known posters who continually cause problems, yet still have posting privileges. These posters can be abusive, antagonistic, bullying, argumentative and spiteful and 'seem' to get enjoyment out of others misfortunes or sending waves of unsettlement through these threads, whether directly or in a very underhand subtle way.
    Yes, there are some very sensitive people here too who do over react at times, but when faced with continually being targeted I can understand why the reactions come out.

    I'm not out to antagonise,but sadly my view of late has been that we are told to put up and shut up.

    I for one don't want to lose the thread...its been at times a lifeline over the past couple of months...and I have cemented some friendships that are truly appreciated.

    We are a mixed bunch here with varying levels of tolerance/friendships and indeed a wide range of reasons we all frequent the thread....

    What we should however be united on is a level of understanding of what's acceptable by way of bullying or harsh words....what one might see as jest is all too often interpreted differently by others.

    Therefore I really do hope that people can keep it civil and keep it kind whether or not you like someone isn't what's at issue .....it's about treating people respectfully

    Good morning all :)


    The reason I stopped reading the post on here was the few spoiling it for the many



    Within 24hrs of returning I’m reading people moaning because someone had it off and got loads of glitch stuff delivered. :D



    That was the main reason for this thread in the first place. As for the SM losses they overcharge every single day without people even noticing



    What is wrong with you? Why would you be bitter because someone had a glitch? Is it just pure jealousy? :(



    This is all I can think of as there is nothing stopping you getting up of your backside and building your own stash.



    As for quantity you are in the same moral boat if you buy 1 or 50 items.


    And life’s to short to be concerned what other people are getting up to or away with.



    People always thought this way in the old days and the world was a better place :)

    Maybe it's just me, but i really don't get why others get upset when someone"buys" more than they would.

    There are plenty things people could get annoyed with posted on here without worrying about other peoples shopping habits. There have been some disgusting personal attacks over the last wee while and deliberately so. Why that doesn't matter but shopping habits do .....

    If you are reading this and thinking, is it me/us or them he's talking about, it's probably all of the above.

    This ^^^^ :T

    Why do people get upset about how far others take things when glitching?

    I could not care less whether people buy 1 or 1000 of an item. Each to their own :)

    And I love the stash pictures :j

    Redfox isnt a mod (even if she does ride a Lambretta and listen to SKA).
    There are no mods on this forum. Redfox and others do an excellent (UNPAID) job trying to keep things in equilibrium. "Some" people dont know how to behave , even when told many times either its like they aint too bright, or they're ignorant, or just a PITA.

    Either way it is impossible for the volunteers to police, so the forum team get involved.
    Their (PAID) job is to ensure the OWNERS are happy and to ensure the ADVERTISERS are happy with where THEIR MONEY is being spent, advertisers dont want to be associated with a site full of nastiness and bickering.
    I know I cannot influence idiots, PITA etc, but anyone who wants to keep the thread(s) going and the facility to remain.
    LISTEN TO REDFOX. fgs
    If you see anyone posting crap its because they want to destroy your thread/community, so bite your tongue. Unless your plan is to bring it down too.
